Patiala: Member of Parliament from Patiala and Union Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur and her son Raninder Singh on Tuesday visited the Dera Sacha Sauda at Sirsa in Haryana to seek blessings from its head Gurmit Ram
Rahim Singh.

Kaur along with Singh and her daughter-in-law Rishma left from here this morning on a private visit, said an aide of Raninder Singh.
Jai Inder Kaur, the daughter of Preneet Kaur was the only family member available and has been meeting Congress workers at the family palace.

Meanwhile, sources at the Dera Sacha Sauda in Sirsa have confirmed that the meeting of both Preneet and Raninder had been fixed for today.

PCC chief Amarinder Singh has sought a meeting with Gurmit Ram Rahim for January 26 or 27, sources added.

Politicians from both the opposition Congress and ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) have been making a beeline to seek blessings of the Dera Chief who enjoys considerable influence among the people in Punjab, Haryana and other areas in the
North.

The Dera followers had supported the Congress candidates in the Malwa region, including Bathinda and adjoining districts, in the 2007 assembly polls which had returned the Congress to power.
